Jerusalem: Sacred City of three faiths
Founded in the third millennium BC, Jerusalem is the most dramatic city in the world. Known as the City of David, this is the city of the great Temple of Solomon, revered by Judaism. For Christians, it is the place where Christ was Crucified. For Muslims, it is the city where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven. As a young man, John Robert Young lived in the Old City in a house on the Via Dolorosa (Way of the Cross). He recalls, “From the roof of the house I could look out across the Old City to the Temple Mount and beyond to The Mount of Olives. It was always breathtaking and deeply moving.”
